It is the century XXI, and the mainstream way seems to be subscribing to Telegram channels whose vibe resonates with you.

Yes, you will be living in a tiny bubble. But at least you do not get to read propaganda pieces trying to derive prefabricated conclusions out of irrelevant small events. If anything large happens, you are going to hear of it earlier or later.

If you really want balanced coverage, choose a source from the other side which is so blatantly propagandist that you can have good laughs instead of grinding your teeth. I am reading The Guardian for that purpose.

Perhaps there are better ways to consume your news, but I don't know these.

How is that a tiny bubble?


I think you misread their comment. If you didn't realize, you also misquoted their comment (unless it was edited).

> It is the century XXI, and the mainstream way seems to be subscribing to Telegram channels whose vibe resonates with you. Yes, you will be living in a tiny bubble.

I believe they mean "the mainstream way" puts you into a tiny bubble, but they go on to say:

> But at least you do not get to read propaganda pieces trying to derive prefabricated conclusions out of irrelevant small events. If anything large happens, you are going to hear of it earlier or later.

Thus, I believe they were advocating for a tiny bubble -- not accusing the previous commenter of being in a tiny bubble.


Yes, the comment had been edited, and makes much more sense now.
